Locks for bikes

[tjwandel]

Has anyone had any experience with the magnum chain & lock from Abus? How about the Kryptonite locks or the Cobralinks lock? Also any information on ground anchors? I recently purchased a KTM200exc & want to do everything I can to prevent it from being stolen. My last bike (KDX200) was stolen in August from my garage. I have been looking at these different brands, but would like some user opinions & ideas. Thanks, Tom

THe kryptonite is a very good lock. If you get the new kryptovault version it should do the job.Just an idea on floor anchors, i cut into my cement floor and put a front coil spring out of a chev in sideways.I had to cut it down so the U lock would fit. I then fed a long piece of angle iron through the spring to anchor it under the pad.Then just fill back in with concrete.That way if someone goes to steal the bike they have to either cut the lock or 4 coils of 1/2 " spring steel.By that time my alarm has woken me up and I am ready to give them a little hospitality with my baseball bat.:p
